2 PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
2.1 Models
The switch provides Eight (8) Gigabit copper ports. Each port is equipped with 2000 Mbps, Full-Duplex, Collision Free
Bandwidth. It’s a multi-speed, versatile network device that combines Gigabit, Fast Ethernet, and Ethernet ports in a single
device.
2.2 Key Features
ƍ Operates at maximum packet forwarding rate in 14880pps/10M, 148800pps/100M and 1488000pps/1000M.
ƍ Supports 16K MAC address entries.
ƍ Provides 1.5M bytes Packet Memory Buffer.
ƍ Provides Flow-Control mechanism to ensure zero packet loss. They are IEEE802.3x for Full-Duplex operation and
Back-Pressure for Half-Duplex operation.
ƍ Provides Store-and-Forward forwarding scheme.
ƍ Provides 1 DB9 RS-232C console interface configured as DTE for operation, diagnostics, status, and configuration
information.
ƍ Provides Menu-Driven console interface from the console port by VT-100 compatible terminal.
ƍ Provides Port-Mirroring function on port 8.
ƍ Provides Link Aggregation function (2,3 or 4 ports per link).
ƍ Supports up to 4 Trunk groups.
ƍ Supports IEEE 802.3ac frame extension for VLAN Tagging.
ƍ Supports Tag-Based VLAN as in IEEE 802.1Q.
ƍ Supports up to 32 Port-Based VLANs.
ƍ Provides 4-level priority for switching.
ƍ Supports 19Gbps backbone bandwidth.

2.3.1 1000BASE-T
The switch is primarily used for network backbone connections.
For the 1000BASE-T TP port, it provides an Auto-Negotiation function that senses for the attached device's maximum
operating speed and automatically sets the Switch to operate at that speed. Users only need to connect a network cable into
any TP port, and the Auto-Negotiation function will do the rest.
2.3.2 Cabling
1000Mbps - To transmit at 1000Mbps requires Category 5 TP cabling that must use all Four (4) pairs twisted-pair wire for
RJ-45 connector.
100Mbps - To transmit at 100Mbps requires Category 5 TP cabling.
10Mbps - When transmitting at 10Mbps Category 3, 4 or 5 TP cabling with RJ-45 sockets can be used.
Port Type Cable Type Connector
1000BASE-T Cat.5 TP RJ-45
100BASE-TX Cat.5 TP RJ-45
10BASE-T Category 3, 4 or 5 TP RJ-45
Note: Category 5 TP cable recommended whenever installing new cabling.
To transmit at 1000Mbps requires Category 5 TP cable using Four (4) pairs Twisted-Pair wire.
